They’re timed to go out in the post to coincide with PhotoBox’s first ever TV advert in mid-November (in the UK) and we’ll be following that up with a Radio Times promotion too (that we’re also designing).

We can’t wait to let you see the work and will pop it on the site ASAP.

We are thrilled to have designed the cover of the October edition of The Bath Magazine, which showcases the creative genius that exists within the historic walls of Bath today and how it means big business for our city. You can pick up a copy now from the Bath branches of Waitrose, Starbucks and Pret a Manger, and M&S Café plus many other locations in and around Bath.

Plus, here is a ‘behind the scenes’ look at the story behind the cover, as featured within the article:

Graphic Clinic, which is based in the heart of Bath in offices at Bartlett Street, believes that design works best when it creates a clear dialogue between brand and customer.

It is run by Brian Copeland, who says: “By knowing who the audience and client are we can actively engage with them. We’re repsonsive to the demands of clients; experienced at listening and understanding their goals and their customers’ needs; and identifying the best solutions to ensure those are met and built upon. We believe all businesses should have access to strategic creative thinking, not just those with the deepest pockets. Which is why we offer our clients brand strategy, management and delivery at an affordable price.

“We have the experience to tailor creative solutions across any channel and actively thrive on working in all of them. From high street banks and international drinks labels to local SMEs, we are adept at giving businesses more than just graphic design.”

Graphic Clinic was founded nine years ago. It has a wide ranging remit, from designing logos and posters to working alongside PR firms on campaigns and to enhance businesses’ search engine optimisation (SEO). The studio has also designed book covers and, of course, worked alongside The Bath Magazine to come up with graphics to illustrate the powerful and largely invisible engine of creativity that lies in the heart of Bath.

This engine of creativity is fed by many sources, with collaborations and partnerships from businesses ranging from one-person outfits working out of their homes, to really big organisations. As you can see from Brian’s two designs – on our cover and on the previous page – creative Bath is fuelled by talent from all kinds of places, including our respected two universities, the museums and galleries, festival makers, programmers and designers.

This book is part of, what we understand to be, a trilogy of books that explores the unseen Scotland of real people.

Using our illustrated characters we created 3 unique and informative animations that demonstrate to financial advisers how clear and simple their new pricing would be when set in a real-world story.

Dead easy-peasy lemon squeazy. After all, if it was hard only professional designers would do it. As such isn’t it great that designing your own book cover is a task open to all.

Or is it?

We were recently asked to produce an eye catching book cover for Kenneth P Stephens collection of short stories set in the undiscovered parts of Scotland. So what else could we do than start researching book cover design in the post-print world.

We were amazed, astounded and apoplexy that so many authors are choosing to cut corners on their cover designs. All that hard work, slogging away at their laptops producing wonderfully crafted word smithery and then they wrap it up in something that they bash out in MS Paint in the final evening before the deadline.

We couldn’t let Kenny suffer that fate so we snuggled down with a decent malt, fired up the iPad, devoured his prose and set to work the following day. The result is above.

We’re looking forward to the arrival of his second collection of short stories and will serve up the creative solution here when it’s published.

Tsk tsk!

So without further ado, Happy Birthday to us!

A huge thanks to all our clients, from the last year and previous years. We wouldn’t be here without your support and trust.

It also means that those nice iOS6 wallpapers we did are now looking rubbish on our phones now. So the solution; spend ages working out exactly ‘how big’ are the wall papers now, what is going on with the scrolling, and can we create some similarly nice wallpapers for our phones again?

So what we’ve created is a series of wallpapers to match our various moods. Some bright, some calmer, but all of them a damn sight better on the eye’s than our old ones, plus they’ve been designed to take into consideration the new look-and-feel of iOS7 and it’s new folders and the way they zoom.

To use any of them, simply open this page on your iPhone and tap and hold the image of your choice. You’ll then be asked if you want to save it to your camera roll, and from there you can set it up as a wallpaper.

If you have a specific Pantone reference you’d like, just drop us an email or send us a message via Twitter.
